Now that’s irritating

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

You know what really, really irritates me? When someone asks me for something and mentions how they need me to email it to them right away, and then I find that they don’t even check their email for it, and probably won’t actually need it for days.

I may just have to re-institute a 2-3 day turn around on all database requests again to prevent this sort of thing from happening. I’ve had to do it before because people refused to either plan ahead, or be honest about when they really needed things. Sad isn’t it?

    I noted last week that it seemed odd that the new definitions I was prompted to download were dated 4 days ago. I’ve been prompted to download 2 updates since then, so obviously, they are updating the def files often. However last night’s definitions were dated Feb. 15, 6 days from the date they were…

    We’re testing a new bit of software at work, because we really haven’t been happy with our current vendor’s level of support. Given the fact that we told the salesperson of this new vendor that was why we were looking at their product, wouldn’t you make extra-double sure that when you sent us download instructions…
